Other types of playing card decks are in use in Europe and Asia. These include French tarot, Italian tarot and Indian ganjifa. [[Mahjong]] may be considered a close cousin despite using tiles. The tarot deck, by the way, was originally ([http://www.tarocchino.com/page2.html and still is]) used for card games, and those games gave rise to the modern concept of a trump suit.
 
Then there are [[Collectible Card Game|Collectible Card Games]]s (CCGs). This genre combines the collectability of, for instance, baseball cards, with the mechanics of a card game. They generally have vivid artwork and complicated effects and strategies. Some take place in an original universe, and others are tie-ins to movies or TV series. Some are massively popular, with [[Tournament Play|tournaments]] and thousands of cards.
 
Between these are "dedicated deck" card games, which use cards with illustrations to implement whatever game concept the designer had. Like [[Collectible Card Game|Collectible Card Games]]s, these often have rule text printed on the cards.
